| pleia2 | I think they're doing a pretty good job, short of actually writing the Mir support for every DE | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| rww | GNUdru: Can you address the point I made earlier? Specifically, as far as I know Xmir covers X compatibility, so programs that work on Xorg (including, say, openbox and xfce...) should work fine on Mir. | 00:16 |
| rww | Thus it would seem to me that the "followable trail" is to use xorg for the next release or two, then switch to xmir, and in the meantime maybe find a developer to make a mir backend for their window manager (or not and just continue using xmir) | 00:17 |
| rww | but perhaps my understanding is flawed, since I haven't read every single mailing list post about this :) | 00:17 |
| pleia2 | rww: strictly speaking they don't even need to stay on xorg, they all work with XMir now http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM5NDQ | 00:23 |

| pleia2 | I think the question is whether Mir is ready for prime time, which is probably why LXDE is sticking with xorg this cycle | 00:24 |

| rww | pleia2: Indeed. The "next release or two" bit was so the Ubuntu users can find all the bugs first ;) | 07:53 |
